Count from 1 to 10 and do it again in this exuberant big top counting book. As clowns, acrobats, and lions do their tricks in sparkly three-dimensional art, a pair of sprightly mice dares readers to find them on every page.

About the Author:
Megan Halsey has studied printmaking and illustration, but what she really likes is making things--especially the exquisite cut-paper figures that enliven such books as Who Wakes Rooster? by Clare Hodgson Meeker, which the New Yorker selected for recommended reading, and One Bean, by Anne Rockwell, which was chosen as an Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children by the joint committee of the National Science Teachers Association and the Children's Book Council.
From Publishers Weekly:
Megan, who also teaches illustrations at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, lives with her husband in Philadelphia.
Halsey (Who Wakes Rooster?) invites readers to step right up under the Big Top and count from one top-hatted ringmaster to 10 brightly clad clowns. Working in cutouts, she creates a spotlight effect: animals and acrobats alike appear to be performing under bright lights, with the cutout figures casting shadows over the spectators. The background for the eight tightrope acrobats and trapeze artists is neatly shaded in curving stripes to emulate the pinnacle of the tent, lighted from below. In other spreads, Halsey represents the audience members with small ovals in colors that complement the costumes of the performers. Two waggish mice appear in each picture, waiting to be found by young readers; a closing spread enumerates the cast once more. Youngsters can count on this splashy introduction to the greatest show on earth. Ages 2-5. (Sept.)
